FRAME FOR ICE-CBEAM FREEZERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 25, 1911.

Application filed July 30, 1906. Serial No. 328,467.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnnor S. Protrrs, a citizen of the United States, residip at Canton, in the county of Stark and gtate of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frames for Ice- Creai Freezers; and I do hereby declare that t e' following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation showing parts in section and parts broken away, illustrating my frame properly attached to an ice cream freezer. Fig. 2 is a perspective View showing a portion of an ice cream freezer shell or casin showing the end thereof removed, and il ustrating the frame detached. Fig. 3 is a detached vicw of the gear and feed end of the freezer casing or shell.

The present invention has relation to 1 frames for ice cream freezers and it consists in the novel construction hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawing 1 represents the ice cream freezer or shell within which is located the usual mechanism emloyed in ice cream freezers of the class to which the frame herein illustrated applies; but the freezer within itself does not form any particular part of the present invention so far as its construction 13 concerned, except the parts necessaryfor attaching and rigidly connecting the freezer to the frame 2, whicl. frame is substantially of the form shown iii Fig. 2, and as shown it is provided with the ,block or head 3, which block or head is preferably formed integral with the frame 2, which frame is supported by means of the base'frame 4;. The frame 2 is provided with the flange 5, which flange v is formed integral'with the frame 2 or securely attached theretoby which arrange ment there is no sprin ing or relative-11lovement as between'the lock or head 3 and the flange 5.

The gear end or head 6 of the freezer proper is provided with the lugs 7, which lugs are securely bolted to the head 3, 11:

3 and the flange 7;

being understood that the head 6 is to be securely connected to the shell or casing ofthe'ice cream freezer proper. The end or heatd 6 should also be provided .with the feed spout 8 by means of which the ingredients contained in the feed receptacle 9 can beflconveyed to the freezer in the usual manner The ring 10 is substantially of the form shown, and as shown it is provided with the flanges 11 and 12, the flange 11 being for the purpose of providing a: means for attaching the casing 1, and the flange 12 being for the purpose of attaching the head 13, which head is preferably attached by means of screw threads so that it can be easily removed when desired. The ring 10 is also provided with the flange 14, which flange is so constructed thatits bottom or under edge will fit the top face of the frame 2, and the faces of the flanges 14 and 5 fitted against each other and securely connected together by means of clamping bolts 15, thereby preventingany springing or relative movement as between. the' frame and the ice cream freezer proper. The opposite end of the ice cream freezer being rigidly held by meansof the block or head It is of importance that there be no relative movement as between the ice cream freezer proper and the frame upon which it is mounted, owing to the fact that the gear frame 16 is securely attached to the frame 2, and if any relative movement is permitted thegear is apt to be' thrown out of mesh or broken, but by my peculiar manner of connecting the parts this difficulty is entirely overcome! It will be understood that the casing of the freezer is formed of comparatively thin material which within itself does not constitute the desired amount of rigidity to insure the proper maintenance of position of frame 2 is provided with the vertical flanges 18, which vertical flanges are joined together and the flange 19 extended therefrom,

which flange is located about midway bet'\ 'een the edges of the frame 2, which flange a self contained v the front'end of the frame 2 forms a forwardly extending overhanging section or portion, and that the front end of the cylinder' is rigidly secured to the front endof said overhanging section or portion of the frame.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. In an ice cream freezer, the combination with a freeze]? casing having a head at one end provided with a lug, of a frame provided with a block at one end and a flange at its opposite end, means at the opposite end of the freezer from the said head for closing the said end, said means including a flange coiiperating with the flange of the said frame, means for securing the flanges of the frame and closing means together, and separate means for securing the lug and block together.

2. In an ice cream freezer, the combination with a freezer casing having a head at one end provided with a lug, of a frame provided with a block at one end and a flange at its opposite end, means at the opposite end of the freezer from the said head for closing the said end, said means including flange cotiperating with the flangeof the said frame, means for securing the flanges of the frame and closing means :together, separate means for securing the lug and block together, agitating mechanism for the freezer casing, and means carried by the.-. d frame for rotating the agitating mechanism.

8. In an ice cream freezer the combina- 7 tion with a freezer casing havlng a head at one end provided with a lug, of a frame flan es of the frame and closin means togcthei, separate means for securing the-lug and block together, agitating mechanism for the freezer casing, and means carried by the said frame for rotating the agitating mechanism, said frame being provided with a depending fiange on its lower surface for strengthening the frame longitudinally.

4. The combination with. a base, of a frame mounted thereon, and provided with a block at or near one end and a flange arranged at its opposite end, a freezer casing having closing means at its-opposite ends, the closing means at one end being provided with lugs cotiperating with the said block, and the closing means at the other .end being provided with a flange cooperating with the flange of the frame, means for securing the block and lugs together, means for securing the said flanges together, the said frame extending beyond the base at one end and provided with :1 depending flange for strengthening the frame longitudinally, agitating mechanism for the freezer casing, and means carried by the said frame for rotating the agitating mechanism.

In testimony that I claim the above, I

have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
